Trauma and Fracture

The region’s only Level I orthopaedic trauma center

Fractures and traumatic injuries happen unexpectedly. And while there’s no way to prepare for such an injury, it’s comforting to know you are in experienced hands. UT Erlanger’s orthopaedic trauma surgeons provide comprehensive care at the region’s only level I trauma center. This means they are fellowship-trained in traumatology and certified to provide highest level of care for traumatically injured patients. In short, no orthopaedists have more experience dealing with the worst-case injuries – and this experience more than prepares them for the common injuries most of us are likely to suffer.
